Preview

Cricket returns to Chinnaswamy, the home for the defending champions, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, as the Indian Premier League enters its 19th season, the final year of its teenage phase.

After waiting for ages, the Bengaluru-based franchise finally got a hand on the title in the 18th season - it was so fitting that the adopted son of Bengaluru, the jersey number 18 holder, Virat Kohli, managed to break the jinx.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru will look to kick off their title defence on a good note when they take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in the curtain-raiser of the IPL 2026 in Bengaluru on Saturday (March 28).

There was very little doubt about RCB taking the field in the season opener, but it was all about where the 2025 champions were going to play their home games. After all the chaos, discussions, meetings, and security confirmations, the Karnataka government finally gave the green signal for KSCA and RCB to host their home matches at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. The Rajat Patidar-led side will play 5 of their 7 home games at Silicon City, while Raipur will host two matches.

Ahead of the new season, RCB have confirmed that all the players will wear jersey number 11 in the warm-ups, wear black armbands on match days and reserve 11 seats permanently in the stands at Chinnaswamy to pay tribute to the 11 people who died during the RCB victory parade stampede last year.

In a recent turn of events, RCB was sold for USD 1.78 billion to a coalition comprising Aditya Birla Group, the Times of India Group, Bolt Ventures and Blackstone's perpetual private equity strategy, BXPE.
